EA are responsible for regulating major industry and waste, treatment of contaminated land, water quality and resources, fisheries, inland river, estuary and harbouring navigations and conservation and ecology.

EA currently has a number of ICUs that range in ages from 2 to 10 years old. Our current ICUs are diesel engine vehicles (Mercedes Sprinter) that have a specifically outfitted interiors to suit our needs. They have the ability to run all the interior equipment either on the engine, or via electricity by being plugged in to an external output or for a short period of time on internal batteries.
The ICUs role is to act as a base during incidents where staff can work and remain in contact, all ICUs are outfitted with communications equipment so that we can always be in touch with Incident rooms etc. There is room inside the Units for a number of people to work, should they need to. They are also outfitted with screens internally and externally to aid with working together and working with the public. The ICUs are also often used at public and PR events.
